A lot of people who want Garrett gone ASAP are not going to like this. But fact of the matter is that he has invested a lot in Garrett, so he is going to see it through.

I do not necessarily have a problem with that. I am glad though that it appears, at least on the surface, it is put up or shut up time.

There are two-three losses a year that are a direct result of things that he ultimately controls. He cannot control the talent brought in exclusively. He can control how the games are managed. Sorry, I cannot stand Jones but I do not think he is dictating to throw the ball 50 times with a backup QB when your running game is functioning well, no throw to protect a 20 point lead and icing your own kicker.

Garrett is hamstrung by a lunatic owner, but there are a lot of times I think he is a perfect fit.

He thrives on the "ambiguity".

Jones has been grooming Garrett for HC for years.

He's tired and so am I with the coaching carousel in Dallas.

Garrett has the intellect for the job.

But not the experience.

So Jones is betting that that if they give him good coachs and fresh talent..

You and Jerry should be tired of losing, not making the playoffs and failing the final game of the last 3 seasons to earn a playoff birth. The coaching carousel is completely Jerry's doing. If you want stability, don't hire an unemployed college coach who's sitting on his couch in Oklahoma to take over a two time defending SB champion. If you want stability, don't hire the Poodle who wasn't qualified enough to sniff another HC gig. If you want stability, don't hire a yes man in Wade and have your trainee HC waiting in the wings whom you hired before the HC. If you want stability, hire a guy that knows how to make in game adjustments, understands clock management and knows what to do with a second half 20 point lead.

Jones is hoping things will turn around.

I think he's right and as a fan..

How about a HC that brings in his own assistants that answer to him and implements his own scheme and vision instead of an owner has to give him his assistants? And then we wonder why we have a coaching carousel.

See above. My local HS head coach wouldn't blow a 20 point halftime lead (twice) and have a better understanding of clock management.

Then don't tell yourself that your're sick of the coaching carousel when you hire people that don't have the experience to do the job you hired them for in the first place.

Well, so far he's been wrong. The only hope I have is that I outlive Jerry.

In 1999 Ray Rhodes was selected by Ron Wolf to take over after Mike Holmgren left for Seattle.

Ray Rhodes went 8-8 in his 1st season with the Packers.

GM Ron Wolf in turn fired him.... after 1 season.... for not being good enough.

It's just one data point but I think you could say that things like that are why the Packers have the winningest record in the NFC over the past 20 years and the Cowboys are basically .500.

The point here isn't about the Packers per say, it is about the willingness of a NFL front office to accept reality, not being scared to admit a mistake, and move on quickly.

Im remember that. Wish that we had that mentality here in Dallas. Not only with the head coach, but also with players that don't live up to their standards.

Frankly the guy that really needs to be fired is Jerry but that won't happen. Then he hires a coach that nothing more than a puppet. Garrett is not good enough and has already proven that in 3 years. How much more can the fans handle the Dallas circus? No wonder they have such a bad rap as one of the most dysfunctional organizations in sports. They truly are.
